Wanderlust Tours, central Oregon's main outfitter, will add guided, flat-water kayaking tours to its menu of naturalist-guided outings beginning in early summer of 2009.

Kayak tours will be available June through October and open to all levels of experience. There will be half-day trips, daily at 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., moonlight tours during the full moon each month and brews and views beer tasting options.

Groups will be small, up to 11 people per group. Tour rates will range between $55-$65 per person.

Wanderlust Tours is the only guide company in central Oregon permitted by the Deschutes National Forest to lead kayaking trips on the Cascade lakes.

Like all of Wanderlust Tours' offerings, tours will include professional naturalist guides, kayaks, instruction and transportation in 15-passenger vans.

All tours are led by professional naturalist guides, who bring the area alive with natural and cultural history interpretation.

Wanderlust Tours, specializing since 1993 in taking small groups into remote natural areas while maintaining a low impact on the environment, was awarded the Oregon State University Austin Excellence in Family Business Award in 2007.
